The Geothermal Genie

Looks like a geenie. What will you wish for?

I've never been one of those people that can easily see shapes in clouds. Nor am I one of those people that can pass a Rorschach Test without being immediately thrown in jail for something I might have done.

But in this picture, I think I see a genie coming out of that geothermal vent.

Great photo. I do see something there in the steam. I thought maybe it could be a boxer (you know Rocky on the top of the steps) .Love your large website. Doesn't quite fit on my powerbook, but that is probably a sign that I need to upgrade my laptop soon.

I dream of geothermal genie :-) Nicely captured (or not as the case may be, this genie doesn't look like it's staying put!). The lines in the sky and on the ground nicely lead your eyes to the centre of the image and the blue rope on the left gives a good sense of scale.

Now if you could just get a picture of a genie fighting a giant cyclops or something that'd be cool!!
